Just for information, although this targets the online community the interesting part is that it is nothing new and has been around since the 70's in various courts. Fact: Walt Disney, Universal, and others won a lawsuit which prohibited ALL recordable media. Their main target was Sony due to the Beta and the VHS of other companies. Although they initially lost the lawsuit in court the ruling was later overturned in US court and again overturned in the Supreme Court in 1984 thus paving the way for us to even have VHS, DVD's or any type of media recording including online arena. Thus for as long as Walt Disney was alive his movies filmed for the theater were never released on TV except for Cinderella which was released every 7 years on TV for each generation. Interestingly enough this all stemmed from Sony being able to advance technology to record media on a "Paper" tape since immediately following WWII metal was a very scarce commodity and wasn't allowed for use by Sony. Oh, and outfoxing our own

First, I'll say IN

Second, read the First Amendment to the Constitution.

Is this not dealing with the dreaded "P" word?

Well since I'm just a kid and can't explain things very well to normal human beings just watch this.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib7-vSrp6y8

This Bill basically states that any video game shown on the Internet like Youtube. Would be illegal and be put in jail for 5 years or large sums of money. Yeah I know you don't understand so just watch these. That means basically all Aceshigh Videos would be torn down unless I contacted Hitech and got a document stating I could post AH videos on the internet. Same thing for any other Game Company's video games.

 What the bill Meanshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ib7-vSrp6y8

Another Video more descriptive of what it means.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hytigOSjJxc

The Billhttp://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=s112-978

Act now against this Billhttp://act.demandprogress.org/letter/ten_strikes?akid=700.450896.5hVZPC&rd=1&t=1

Side Note:Thousands of Dollars if not millions are raised for charity by just doing COD or minecraft livestreams on youtube. Just imagine how much money will be taken away from charity communities

There is no need to get your Underoos in a bunch.  If this bill passes, which there is large doubt it will, the game studios will just change their EULA to allow the posting of these videos.  It is not in the best interest of game companies to support this bill.

This bill is more about positioning for future donations than it is about the actual bill. It has no chance but it really doesn't matter at this point.

Well I agree with Wrongway slightly. Just, because we don't think it's gonna come up as a law. Doesn't mean we shouldn't be consered. My family's a long line of lawyers and stuff and they basically know this won't happen. Plus youtube would loose, I don't know a couple billion dollars if this bill was to go up. It might go up just not the way it's worded right now. Plus watch one of the explaining videos, it awnsers all your questions that I've FAILED to state in the text.(I didn't Dis myself)

Plus I watch like 2 hours of youtube gaming videos a day. You know how much pain I would be in. Only thing left would be RayWilliam, Tobuscus, FreddiewW, FPSrussia and EpicMealtime.

One if these days i might ask permission to make my non-money making vids.
The only profit I get is the enjoyment of making them and sharing them with the community.
Perhaps if I got paid for them I'd be able to spend the money on Sony Vegas 10... :headscratch:

Just watched the explanation. It's not a First Amendment issue. They are making it a copyright issue. It seems aimed at TV and movies, and maybe videos, being uploaded and streamed on the internet.

Quite frankly, if not for streaming media uploaded by individuals I would not have discovered many bands or movies I have actually spent money on.

If they are so concerned about movies and tv on the internet they should make it a quality limit to get people to buy stuff. Low quality streamed, high quality if you buy it.
